Congratulations on your win in Carolyn Devonshire's "Forest Lights" contest Moses. Love, Carol

a very interesting take on the "forest lights" theme and a well-deserved win! congrats!

You describe this complex condition so with such intimacy; wonder if you have dealt with anyone afflicted. My friend's daughter has it from an infected innoculation given in childhood. So sad.

Congrats on your well deserved win, John! It's wonderful and insightful. Blessings and love, Rhonda

Congratulations on yur wonderful poem receiving first place.

Alexa and I were stunned by the depth of meaning in this poem -- comparing the scene to the images a child with autism has. Bravo for a first-place win, John! Love, Carolyn

wow, a deep write that celebrates all kinds of people whatever their station in life is, moe... sublime!.. best winning huggs!..:)

Love your word choices! a sad reality, but never makes them less of a person :)

touching tender write, John

Such a sad state and it manifests itself differently in each who has it. My friend's daughter got it after an infected innoculation when very young. You handled this so well John, with delicacy.

Soup mail, John.

this is very nice, making me think of a young boy's "seeing" despite his handicap.
